BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a process for the modification to tall oil fatty acids. More particularly, this invention relates to a process for treating tall oil fatty acids with a bromine-iodine catalyst.
Tall oil fatty acids normally consist of a major portion of mono-unsaturated oleic acids and diunsaturated linoleic acids (in approximately equal proportions), small quantities of saturated acids and unsaponifiables. Also, since tall oil fatty acids are derived from tall oil, which contains substantial quantities of rosin acids, small quantities of the latter may also be present. The Bureau of the Census of the U.S. Department of Commerce has accepted the definition of tall oil fatty acids as that material produced from crude tall oil which contains 90 percent or more free fatty acids. Most commercially available tall oil fatty acids contain substantially more than 90 percent fatty acids and substantially less than percent rosin acids. The following is an analysis of typical tall oil fatty acids:
In the effort to employ tall oil fatty acids as starting materials for the manufacture of detergents, as by sulfonation for example, the large amount of polyunsaturated linoleic acids in the tall oil fatty acids is found to be detrimental since they give rise to side'reactions with the formation of undesirable products, and therefore have not found wide acceptance for such use. The unsaturated linoleic acid must therefore be converted to oleic acid and other saturated acids.
2. The Prior Art It is well known to upgrade tall oil components by heating them in the presence of various catalysts. For instance, disproportionation of rosin acids is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,617,792 to Floyd wherein nickel is used as the catalyst. A free hydrogen chloride and zinc halide catalyst for polymerizing fatty acid mixtures is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,894,939 to Hampton. More pertinent is the disclosure of stabilizing tall oil materials containing substantial amounts of rosin acids with an iodine catalyst by disproportionation disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,311,386 to Hasselstrom. In such processes, the tall oil starting material contains a relatively large portion of rosin acids, and is subjected to heat in the presence of a catalyst, whereupon hydrogen is generated largely from the rosin acids, especially those coming under the designation abietic acid and serves to hydrogenate the other rosin acids and the unsaturated fatty acids as well. This reaction above referred to is known as disproportionation and yields a product in which the polyunsaturated fatty acids originally present are hydrogenated. Because of the relatively large amount of hydrogen generated, however, the reaction produces little or no dimerization of the unsaturated fatty acids for the reasons mentioned hereinabove. Thus Floyd, for example, in Column 3, beginning line 20, states that to carry out the disproprotionation reaction requires a minimum of about 30 percent of rosin acids. In the disproportionation process covered by the Hasselstrom patent above cited, substantially the same results are sought as in the Floyd patent.
The treatment of tall oil fatty acids with an iodine catalyst to convert the linoleic acids to oleic-type acids is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,157,629 to Patrick. Disproportionation of rosin with halogen catalysts is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 1,957,788 to Lister. Also, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,251,869 to Putnam et al. unsaturated fatty acids are treated with an iodine catalyst followed by treatment with a clay catalyst. Other somewhat related prior art patents teach using iodine catalysts to isomerize polyene compounds, such as Ralston et al. U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,411,111 and 2,411,112, as well as 2,411,113, and 2,498,133.
Although an iodine catalyst performs satisfactorily in the upgrading of tall oil products, it has become undesirable to rely solely on an iodine catalyst, as the short supply of iodine has resulted in that catalyst becoming more expensive. It is therefore a general object of this invention to provide a catalyst system for treating tall oil fatty acids that is equally satisfactory as an iodine catalyst. Another object of this invention is to provide a catalyst system for converting unsaturated linoleic acids in tall oil fatty acid to oleic type acids using lower catalyst levels.
Other objects, features and advantages of this inven tion will be evident from the following disclosure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has been found that a process for treating tall oil fatty acids with a bromine-iodine catalyst mixture to convert the linoleic acids portion to oleic and other fatty acids results in products equivalent to those treated with iodine alone. The catalysts are employed in an amount of 0.06 percent to 2.0 percent by weight fatty acids at a temperature between 400F. and 550F. for a period of time between 10 minutes and 6 hours. The bromine catalyst and iodine catalyst are used at a bromine to iodine ratio between 1:1 to 5:1 parts by weight. Tall oil fatty acids with the catalyst of this invention give fatty acids almost identical to fatty acids treated with iodine alone. The advantage of this process is that substantially less catalyst is used to accomplish equivalent results as with iodine alone.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In carrying out the process of this invention the bromine catalyst and iodine catalyst together may be used in concentrations as low as 0.06 percent by weight of the fatty acids and as high as 2.0 percent by weight. At lower concentrations of iodine the conversion of the polyunsaturated acids proceeds at a rate too slow for practical use. As the amount of iodine catalyst is increased, the rate at which conversion of the polyunsaturated acids occurs is also increased. Certain advantages are to be had, however, by the use of low concentrations of iodine, i.e., from 0.03 percent to 0.05 percent; however, it is preferable that the iodine catalyst be present in an amount of at least 0.02 percent by weight offatty acids. Also, low concentrations of iodine do not force the reaction to proceed so far that large amounts of saturated acids are formed, whereas the use cent of the mixed catalyst (bromine/iodine, 3.3/1) the treatment of distilled tall oil fatty acids was complete in one hour at 495F. The thus treated distilled tall oil fatty acid was sparged with steam for 30 minutes to give of high concentrations of iodine, 1 percent to 2 pera product containing 74 percent oleic-type acid. Simicent, results in the formation of substantial quantities lar results are obtained using 4:1 and 5:1, bromine to of saturated acids. Although various ratios of bromine .iodine ratios. Characterization of these materials shows to iodine might be utilized in the treatment of fatty that they are equivalent to or superior to tall oil fatty acids, the best ratios seem to be about 1:1 to 5:1 parts acids treated with iodine alone in acid number, saponibromine to iodine. fication value, diene, yield, and titer.
